Dec 3-5, Salmon Arm –
It seems that live theatre has been around the Shuswap since just about anyone can remember. Early on, the Shuswap Players were a popular group of amateur actors and actresses in the area, entertaining theatre buffs as early as the 1960’s.
When, in 1977, the Salmon Arm Recreation Department, with the thought of perhaps starting a theatre group, advertised for people who loved live theatre, they were astonished when 24 people showed up to a meeting in the drama room at J. L. Jackson Secondary School! Thus began the first season of the Shuswap Theatre.
